So I was listening to XM today and I hear Common on the radio. It is a completely new song and a new sound. The new song called “Announcement” also features Pharrell who raps and produces the track! I had to know more… and I found out Common is releasing a new album this year titled Invincible Summer said to be released in late September. I also found another Common track called “Universal Mind Control” also featuring Pharrell. Personally, I am excited about this new album. I wasn’t impressed with Finding Forever, so let’s see how it turns out. It sounds like a whole new territory for Common, hopefully the whole album will sound like this if Pharrell has anything to do with it!

If the charts are to be believed, his goodwill has been repaid many times over. Of course, it helps that Tha Carter III is one of the best albums of the year. It’s a pop play–and smelling it, everyone from Jay-Z to Robin Thicke jumped on board with contributions–but it’s still weird enough to sound like underground Lil Wayne. His wordplay can be thrilling (”My picture should be in the dictionary next to the definition of definition”), and no other rapper finds as much joy in rhyming; “in the way,” “everyday,” “what we say,” “cliché,” “Andre 3K,” “sensei” is a typical string from Dr. Carter, his prescription for what ails rap. But the impact owes more to his delivery than to his wit. Wayne isn’t afraid to sound bizarre. On Phone Home, he rhymes like E.T., and throughout, he stammers, intentionally misses beats and defies most of the rules of contemporary rap. On DontGetIt, over a sample of Nina Simone’s Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, he tells a life story that veers into an indictment of drug laws and finishes some 1,200 words and 10 minutes later by dismissing Al Sharpton with a theatricality even the good Reverend would have to appreciate.

Wayne claims his rhymes are stream of consciousness, but even if they aren’t, they sound as though they’re hitting the air for the first time, unfolding with an electricity that’s–forbid the sacrilege–Dylanesque. Redd Foxx would probably dig ‘em too.  Read More…….
